Get busy living at the Yard

12 #HIM responded to the call this warm and humid morning. We all said our normal grumbling hellos and soon the mumble chatter started. YHC gave the disclaimer, brief and to the point as there were no FNG’s, and the PAX began to mosey.

The Warm Up
The PAX circled the parking lot and proceeded to the front of the middle school where a little high knees, butt kickers and Karaoke were in the cards while running to the parking area near the top of the hill. Warm Up exercises were as follows:
SSH
Windmill
Moroccan Night Clubs
Cherry Pickers
Mountain Climbers
Imperial Walkers
Merkins

The Thang

The PAX proceeded to the bottom of the hill at the entrance to the schools, partnered up and began a little round of Dora 1,2,3. Partners traded off on running up and down the hill while the other performed the Dora, consisting of 100 Merkins, 200 LBC’s and 300 Squats.

From there, the PAX moseyed back up the hill, grabbed some wall for multiple rounds of preachers chair complete with arm raises and overhead claps.

Sensing there was more living to do, the PAX moved to the back parking lot where cones awaited for a bit of 4 corners. PAX were broken into 4 groups and instructed to perform 3 laps around the cones, performing 10 reps of the identified exercise at each cone. The exercises:
Flying Squirrels (this is a moderate so no Burpees)
Flutter Kicks
Carolina Dry Docks
BOXCUTTERS
One more round was performed for giggles.

All ended with a round of Mary, with nearly half the PAX having the opportunity to lead an exercise. Back to COT.

With the word of the month being FREEDOM, the discussion turned to what that meant to each of us. The common theme iterated by the group centered on the freedoms we have as a country, as a people, to worship where and how we want and most frequently, the choices we have the freedom to make. Choices that have positive outcomes, such as the choice these HIM made to come out and get better, and choices that have consequences which everyone of us has experienced in this life.

We prayed for families, those traveling, those with job loss, and those struggling to live lives based on choices that the Sky Q would be proud of us making.

Thanks to Hasselhoff for allowing me to lead this group. I remain thankful and humbled.

V/R, M*A*S*H
